Chapter 69: Yuhao Meets Sky Dream
Ever since Kong Xuan learned he had Transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he had felt as if a Sword of Damocles hung over his head, ready to fall at any moment.
The source of this crisis was naturally God King Tang San, who now held absolute power over the Douluo Continent.
Kong Xuan was very worried that his presence, which shouldn't have appeared in this World, would attract the attention of God King Tang, so he had always been extremely cautious.
However, this situation changed after Kong Xuan's Breakthrough to twenty ranks.
Knowing he had a 'cheat,' Kong Xuan felt he could finally 'stand tall'!
He then began to plan for the future, with the primary goal naturally focused on Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny of this World.
Kong Xuan, under the guise of 'divine oracle,' managed to thoroughly bewilder his grandfather, Kong Deming.
Since that day, Huo Yuhao, far away in Star Luo, unwittingly received round-the-clock 'surveillance.'
And this surveillance lasted for a year.
Now, as Huo Yuhao's spirit power was finally about to reach ten ranks, the original plot was about to officially unfold, and the long-awaited Opportunity for Kong Xuan had finally arrived.
Just as Kong Xuan had planned, he had no designs on the Sky Dream Iceworm. Old Huo's experience was indeed too tragic, so he would leave this Opportunity to him.
But for Electrolux, the Necromancer Saint, the Undead Scourge, Kong Xuan was determined to obtain him!
This was not only for his future development but also a test of God King Tang.
Kong Xuan wanted to see if his interference in changing the fate of Huo Yuhao, who was being watched by Tang San, would provoke retaliation from Tang San.
If nothing happened, it would mean that Tang San's influence on the Douluo Continent was not as great as he imagined, and he could then act more freely in many matters.
And if Tang San truly made a move, then he would just test the power of his as-you-will golden-banded cudgel!
Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Then, Grandfather, when shall we depart?"
Kong Deming calmly replied, "I know you're eager, but there's plenty of time. It's late now; we'll depart first thing tomorrow morning."
Kong Xuan knew his grandfather always handled things thoroughly, so he realized he was indeed a bit too eager.
Even with Kong Xuan's second life, he only had over thirty years of experience. In front of the nearly two-hundred-year-old Kong Deming, he was still not composed enough.
Kong Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded, "Good!"
Fifty li northwest of Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire, lay a massive estate covering over three thousand mu.
Palace-like buildings rose and fell, stretching endlessly, their golden glazed tiles shimmering brightly under the sunlight.
An estate of such size and a complex of such magnificent buildings all indicated the extraordinary identity of its owner.
This was the White Tiger Duke's Estate of the Star Luo Empire!
At this moment, the back door on the north side of the Duke's Estate quietly opened, and a small, thin figure slipped out.
This was a boy of eleven or twelve, frail in stature, simply dressed, and carrying a small satchel.
After walking some distance, the boy turned to look at the majestic White Tiger Duke's Estate behind him; this was the place he had lived for eleven years.
—
Stubbornness filled the boy's dark blue eyes, but the moment he turned, a deep hatred emerged within them.
This boy was Huo Yuhao, the absolute protagonist and Child of Destiny during the Peerless Tang Sect era!
At this moment, this Child of Destiny was uttering threats towards the Duke's Estate behind him.
But he could never have imagined that many years later, when he had the strength to take revenge and the ability to fulfill his promises,
He wouldn't accomplish a single one of the things he so desperately wanted to do today.
And all of this, again, must be attributed to our 'pure and untainted' God King Tang!
Huo Yuhao, this Child of Destiny, had been watched by God King Tang since birth; his entire life could be said to have been clearly arranged.
The originally clear-headed Huo Yuhao eventually became Tang San's puppet, even changing his name back to Dai Yuhao in the end.
His life experiences were affectionately referred to by many fellow readers in another World as 'God King training his dog.'
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, unaware that his fate had long been arranged, walked out of the Duke's Estate and began his legendary life.
High in the sky, Kong Deming and Kong Xuan, relying on their flying spirit tools, were concealed within the clouds, observing Huo Yuhao's every move below.
For four years, various pieces of information about Huo Yuhao had been regularly delivered to Kong Deming.
So, apart from Huo Yuhao himself, Kong Deming was now the person in this World who understood him best.
Watching Huo Yuhao's departing figure, Kong Deming still couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure he is the Child of Destiny of this World?"
Looking back at Huo Yuhao's eleven years of life, it could be said that apart from his rare Body Spirit, there was nothing remotely impressive about him.
"There's no mistake. He just hasn't risen yet. Once he joins Shrek Academy, various Opportunities will come one after another, and his growth will exceed everyone's expectations."
Kong Xuan's tone was firm, and he didn't explain much, as Kong Deming, a native, wouldn't understand that there's a type of protagonist called 'beautiful, strong, and tragic.'
For six days, Kong Xuan and Kong Deming followed closely behind Huo Yuhao.
Kong Xuan dared not have any significant contact with Huo Yuhao now, fearing a butterfly effect that might alter his original destiny.
Watching the young man and woman below, drawn by the aroma of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, Kong Xuan's heart suddenly pounded, knowing that the moment he had been waiting for was about to arrive.
Kong Xuan remembered that shortly after Huo Yuhao met Bei Bei and Tang Ya, he would encounter the Sky Dream Iceworm.
After eating his fill, Huo Yuhao set off again, soon truly entering the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Given the dangers of the Star Dou Great Forest, a boy with only ten ranks of spirit power could easily lose his life if he encountered even a hundred-year Spirit Beast."
Kong Deming sighed. Although he verbally stated that Huo Yuhao's actions were unwise, knowing what the boy had endured, he understood that this was Huo Yuhao's final choice after having no other options.
No sooner had Kong Deming finished speaking than he saw a dark shadow attack Huo Yuhao.
Even from high in the sky, with the aid of his spirit tool, Kong Deming could still clearly see it was a Wind Baboon over a meter tall.
Kong Xuan's pupils flickered with a golden light as he watched Huo Yuhao and the Wind Baboon fighting below, a silent chuckle rising in his heart.
This Wind Baboon, with only a few decades of cultivation, was originally at the very bottom of the food chain in the Star Dou Great Forest, only able to act somewhat fiercely in the outermost areas.
But because it nearly killed the 'newly debuted' Huo Yuhao, it was actually dubbed the 'God Slayer' by readers.
Soon, the battle ended, and the God Slayer did not complete its mission of slaying a god.
A white spirit ring floated from the Wind Baboon's body, symbolizing its less than hundred-year cultivation.
Huo Yuhao, severely wounded by the Wind Baboon, now leaned against a large tree, panting heavily.
A ten-year Spirit Beast had nearly taken his life, and he was filled with confusion about his Spirit hunting journey, feeling that he might die on the way.
Even without a glimmer of hope, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth. At this moment, he had no choice but to push forward.
"Here it comes!"
High in the sky, Kong Xuan's fists involuntarily clenched, his eyes flashing golden as he stared intently below!
And at this moment, a voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"I finally found a human with a spiritual attribute. It's a pity I can't cry, or I'd be in tears!"
